This review is from: Concord Jazz Heritage Series (Audio CD)

HERE IS A SINGER WHO HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME BUT HAS NEVER BEEN GIVEN HER JUST DUE FOR SOME STRANGE REASON! ANYONE WHO LOVES GREAT'S SUCH AS ELLA, SARAH, CARMEN, DINAH, WILL LOVE THIS GIFTED SINGER AND REALIZE THAT SHE IS EQUAL TO THESE FOR CERTAIN!!! THIS GREAT COLLECTION IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES AND IS FULL OF DEFINITIVE VERSIONS OF MANY STANDARD CLASSICS WHICH ARE ALL GIVEN NEW LIFE HERE. LOOSE, SOPHISICATED AND SOULFUL IS THE GREAT OPENER "I LOVE BEING HERE WITH YOU". "'TAINT NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO" IS GIVEN A GREAT BLUES WORKOUT THAT HAS NEVER BEEN QUITE EQUALED. THE DUKE'S "DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE" IS SMOOTH AND SOPHISICATED AND HAS NEVER SOUNDED BETTER AND "SKYLARK" WILL TOTALLY BLOW YOU AWAY WITH IT'S SHEER BRILLIANCE AND WONDEROUS VOCAL BEAUTY. ERNESTINE IS AT HOME WITH THE BLUES AND GIVES EARTHY AND ROUSING READINGS TO "SOMEONE ELSE IS STEPPIN'IN" AND "PLEASE SEND ME SOMEBODY TO LOVE" WHICH I HAVE NOT HEARD TOPPED!! THE LEGENDARY BILLIE HOLIDAY CLASSIC "BODY AND SOUL" IS HAUNTING AND GORGEOUS AND "IN A MELLOW TONE" IS UNIQUELY DIFFERENT. MANY VERSIONS OF "TIME AFTER TIME" HAVE BEEN DONE OVER THE YEARS BUT NEVER MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THIS. THE CLOSING "NEVER MADE YOUR MOVE TOO SOON" IS A COMPLETE TOUR-DE-FORCE FOR ERNESTINE AND NOBODY COULD EVER TOP THIS OR HOPE TO EVEN COME CLOSE!!! ONCE YOU GET INTO THIS INFECTIOUS ANTHEM YOU WILL BE HITTING THE REPEAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN-IT IS A TOTALLY AWESOME NUMBER THAT CLOSES OUT A TOTALLY AWESOME COLLECTION!!! BRAVO ERNESTINE!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!
